[ SERVICES · HEADLIGHT RESTORATION ]

Headlight Restoration — clear lenses, brighter light.

What it is

Polishing cloudy, yellowed headlight lenses back to clear — restoring light output and a sharp front end.

Who it's for

Foggy, oxidized, or yellowed headlights — common on older or sun-exposed vehicles.

From $75, with a 2-year warranty.

Headlight restoration brings hazy, yellowed headlights back to clear. Over time the lens oxidizes and yellows, scattering light and dating the whole front end. We cut back that damaged outer layer and refinish the lens so it's clear again — brighter, safer light at night and a cleaner-looking vehicle. It's backed by a 2-year warranty.

What's included

Cloudy, yellowed lenses cut back and refinished to clear
Restored light output and clarity
A protective finish on the lens
Backed by a 2-year warranty

What it can and can't fix

Restoration refinishes the lens you already have — it isn't a replacement. Surface oxidation, yellowing, and haze come right out. Lenses that are cracked, deeply crazed, or fogged on the inside are beyond what polishing can fix and will need replacement — we'll tell you honestly which yours is before we start.

Pricing & warranty

Headlight restoration starts at $75 and is backed by a 2-year warranty. Final price depends on the size and condition of the lenses — send a photo and we'll quote it.

Headlight restoration FAQ

Why do headlights fog or turn yellow?

Headlight lenses are polycarbonate with a thin protective coating. UV from the sun breaks that coating down over time and the plastic underneath oxidizes — which is what turns the lens cloudy or yellow. Restoration removes that damaged layer and reseals the lens.

How long does headlight restoration last?

It's backed by a 2-year warranty. How long the clarity holds depends on sun exposure and care, but the warranty has you covered.

Can every headlight be restored?

Most foggy or yellowed lenses restore beautifully. Lenses that are cracked or fogged on the inside need replacement instead — we'll check yours and tell you honestly before we start.

What's the difference between restoration and replacement?

Restoration refinishes your existing lens, which is far cheaper; replacement swaps the whole housing and is only needed when the lens is cracked or internally damaged.

How much does it cost?

From $75, depending on the size and condition of the lenses. Send us a photo for a quick quote.
